If you are planning to move into new offices soon, then donb t just throw up rows upon rows of cubicles and call it a day. The way you arrange the office is integral to the happiness and efficiency as well as the creativity of your employees. One way that you can do this is by creating a more shared office space.
According to numerous studies, employees often complain about the way an office is arranged. If there is no shared social area available in the office, then it makes it harder for employees to collaborate. You want your employees bouncing ideas off one another in order to come up with better and quicker solutions, which means you want them to be able to speak with one another.
Cubicles often discourage such interaction. Not to mention that cutting off your employees from social interaction with one another is a good way to make them feel isolated, which can lead to increased stress levels. Create a collaborative culture by considering how you can arrange your office space in a more shared way.

Many companies frown upon giving their employees a chance to telecommute, thinking that itb s better to have all of their employees work out of an office space. Itb s much easier to keep track of employees this way, after all. However, a number of studies relating to the matter have found that there are actually a number of benefits to telecommuting that you may want to consider.
First of all, employees that telecommute tend to appear happier, according to many business decision makers. In many cases, upper management has found telecommuting to not only be mutually beneficial but also that it has made employees more productive. One of the reasons for this is that employees who telecommute tend to be much less stressed out, partially due to the fact that they are working at home, an area that is much more comfortable to them. This leads to them taking less sick days as well, thereby increasing their productivity for the company. Because of the mutual benefits involved in telecommuting, itb s becoming more and more popular among companies over the last few years.

Consider Relaxation

It should not surprise office managers that employee concentration in areas where there are cubicles in the office is difficult. Whether you are the owner, CEO, President, Office Manager, or Supervisor you want peak performance from your employees. But how are you going to get that from employees who have to work in a noisy, distraction filled environment with totally exposed workstations all lined up in a row?
Of course you are not and that is a growing problem in offices across the board. With downsizing and multiple regions squished into what were once vast palaces of employment, office managers and those in charge really need to start thinking outside of the box.
The trends seem to be that when the real work needs to be done, seclusion and privacy work better than an open-air setting. We’re not talking about lavish suites, mind you. But B meeting rooms, collaboration spaces, or alternative work areas can really make all the difference.
If you are struggling with these conditions, maybe you need a new partner.B Morris Southeast can help you and your team get back on track, all while minimizing downtime. Reach out and see how Morris can make your workers more productive.
